JOHOR BARU: It’s been almost a year since they opened a wantan mee stall to fend for themselves after becoming orphans.

Despite the long hours, 20-year-old Yap Jia Hao and his sister Zi Yu, 18, have persevered so far, as they want to provide for their youngest brother who is now in Year Four at school.
